MAKE OUT! is a group exhibition with internationally active artists, activists and filmmakers, who in one way or another belong to the Queer Community.
Curator: Malin Arnell, Initiator: Stefan Forss
As with last year’s show, Put the Light Out, Erase a Line at Studio 44 in conjunction with Stockholm Pride, we have invited a large number of artists, activists and filmmakers who have triggered our curiosity and admiration during the last few years.
Our vision for the show MAKE OUT! has been that we, the homobitransqueerdyke artists, who either work from a glbtqperspective or not, will get the possibility to exchange experiences and present our artistic work and activities to each other and an audience.
As participants in the exhibition, we will take over the space in many different ways. It will be a space for informal meetings and also be used as an open exhibition space.
Through the exhibition MAKE OUT! we want to offer a platform for reflections about art, life and society, with heteronormality and taboos as a starting point.

Apart from the actual exhibition the following will also take place in conjunction with MAKE OUT!:

Knee in, Curtain down, 2008
Some public declarations, prepared in advance to say in public, what we are prepared to say in public. Next to our absolutely social selves, another way of saying, we refuse to be alone, private. Or another way of saying, we will try to make the space dark, cover the window, there will be a projection and I will read on the street.
Karl Holmqvist
C O N T E N T S, 2008
Book of poetry
Karl Holmqvist writes: It's good for air planes, for reading in the subway or on the beach. It's good in bed. Poetry expresses thoughts and feelings. Maybe we need to reach out. To stretch out and have only something like human rights. Why should gay men and women only speak about identity politics and gay sex all the time? Maybe it is when we use our particular experience of how we are treated and perceived etc. to imagine what things are like for other people that something will start to move. Asylum seekers, single mums and people in wheelchairs. Thinking about something makes a difference and language is what makes us human. Language rules can be broken as well as any other rules, for those who have such a need for control that they want to come into other people's bedrooms, and even into their inner emotions to somehow be able to decide about what things are supposed to be like there.
Hans Isaksson
Still (facts of life), enamelpaint on tin, 2008
Illusion is about make-believe and reality is only a result of our expectations. There are no facts, only interpretations of facts. Metaphores hides the cold truth and it is all a matter of perspective. I want to push the reality-game a step beyond the art of illusion. Everything is always something else.

Matts Leiderstam
Museum (Inside/Outside), 2008
In the mid-1980s the landscape painter Milos Gvozdenovic (1926-2006) made a series of sketches for his paintings with views of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade – mostly glimpsed through the park surrounding it. Leiderstam have made an animated film based on eleven drawings donated to the Museum by Gvozdenovic's widow. Juxtaposed to this film is a text containing stories based on what the employees of the Museum have seen through the windows.

Pontus Lindvall
Pontus Lindvall is working in the enlarged field of contemporary craft and applied arts. He is in different ways exploring subjects as aesthetics, connotations of materials and techniques, the value of making things your self, our perception and evaluation of the superficial, the original/the fake, the imitation, the culture of objects, our identification with and willingness to let ourselves be streamlined by trends, commercially driven life style production and so on. In most of his work he uses the world of functional objects as the medium and craft as the method for this.

Inspired by the writings of Helene Cixous and imaging an abstracted vocabulary of letters and signs, this arrangement sets a scene in which no intelligible dialogue can take place.
